In a video released on its official Youtube account, originally brought to light by David Stein, the Defense Equal Opportunity Management Institute, which is part of the Department of Defense, recommends that bystanders to violent attacks “carefully use humor” to stop them.
The video, which also features a bizarre stylized reenactment of the 1964 rape and murder of Catherine Genovese, was published on February 22, 2013. It is meant to be a “Bystander Intervention Training Video” for military members. […]
The nine strategies that DEOMI recommends bystanders to rape and murder use in order to stop the attack are as follows:
1) Name or Acknowledge the Offense
2) Identify the Obvious
3) Interrupt Behavior
4) Publicly Support Aggrieved Person
5) Use Body Language
6) Carefully Use Humor
7) Encourage Dialogue
8) Ease Strong Feelings
9) Call for Help
